Intimacy Activates

Intimacy activates. 

I paused my late night rumination to focus on His voice. I heard, "Intimacy activates." 

Wounds from negative experiences prevent us from being vulnerable.

Our new normal in this period of recalibration requires intimacy - a deep knowing and vulnerability. We must pursue healing.

On the other side of the recalibration is a pursuit of our high purpose...

Epiphanies

1. Jesus is an abolitionist. If you're looking for today's expression of Christ, search in the places where something is being dismantled, for example, the U.S. justice system. 

As we pray "on Earth as it is in Heaven", we are commissioned to abolish longstanding authorities (like racism, poverty, and every other thing standing in opposition to God) to ensure the kingdom dominates here. The Holy Spirit - the Spirit of Jesus - will provide the wisdom and power needed to do this work in your community, through your influence at your workplace, and within your family. Ask for the help.

2. Women are often valued/measured by their level of service to others. And our true measure comes from our identity as a Daughter of God. 

When I sit in God's presence, I have permission to rest.

3. Jesus aims to be the Chief Cornerstone of everything we build.
